Description
Based on numerous practical examples, this training demonstrates how detailed vibration analysis can help detect mechanical and electrical issues in various types of rotating machinery, ranging from simple pumps or fan units to more complex machines such as extruders, compressors, fillers, presses, and more. Special attention will be given to the monitoring of low-speed machines, with examples drawn from the paper, food, and chemical industries.
Recommended audience
This course is recommended for analysts who wish to study vibration analysis techniques and
applications, as well as maintenance leaders and reliability engineers.
